NEW DETECTIVES

 

Two new members are working from the Aberdeen detective unit as from 19th January.

Warrant Officer Derick Erasmus, who grew up in Aberdeen, started with the SAPS in 1990. He spent two years helping out the detective service from 2000 until 2002, before returning to uniform at the police station. He has now been officially placed in the detective service, and is looking forward to the new challenges.

Warrant Officer Delmé Sweetland is originally from Willowmore. He joined the police force in 1991 in his home town, and was transferred to Aberdeen in 1995. He also spent a three year spell with the detective service between 1997 and 2000.

Both men have undergone two months of basic training for the detective service, focusing on the investigation of crime.

Aberdeen is pleased to welcome two more hardworking members of the detective service to help in the ongoing fight against crime
